GOOD JOB BREAKING THE RICH TEXT EDITOR
Can I just complain about how dumb LJ's new post/edit page is? I am trying to update my sales post with new items and it's taking three times longer than normal.
First off, you can no longer resize an image in rich text mode by dragging on the corners. What kind of crap is this? Now I have to click on the image, then check a box that says "constrain proportions", then type in the new number manually before clicking "save"... and only THEN can I see the resized image? I thought the whole point of rich text was that it's supposed to make things faster. If I'm going to spend 15+ seconds on each image, I might as well just resize them in HTML mode. (Yes, I know I could resize the images before uploading them, but I like to do my final resizing in the post itself so I can see the image heights/widths in relation to each other.)
Oh, and while using the rich text
editor and copying/pasting text, LJ randomly throws
line breaks in there. It
makes my post look like an attempt
at bad poetry.
Want to know what's even more annoying? "Undo" no longer works
correctly. I made a mistake (accidentally deleted an image) so I pressed
ctrl+z to undo it. Guess what happened. LJ deleted everything back to
the last point it had auto-saved. Which was EVERYTHING, because it is no
longer auto-saving. So now I have to start over. Good job, LJ.
I can tolerate this crap for text posts, but not posts with images. This makes me never want to post sales or auctions or a collection update or ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES MORE THAN TWO PHOTOS ever again. pkmncollectors, please move to Dreamwidth so I can quit LJ and never look back.
Ugh, how are you guys DEALING with this? Looking at you, pannsie. I saw that image-filled collection post you made recently.
